Underdevelopment and Critical Theorizing
It has sometimes been said that Critical Theory is Atlantic-centric – pre-occupied with European and American problems – from war and concentration camps in Europe, the post-national status of the
Kant on the Imagination
Kant is concerned to give meaning, depth and veracity to the notion of the subject, which he does on transcendental grounds, and also to shift it beyond purely cognitivist formulations. He opens the subject up to other dimensions of the world that he or she establishes – not only the cognitive, but also the political – ethical and the aesthetic. He does this by constructing and denoting different faculties and their principles that ought to be em…

David Roberts
David Roberts has always had a keen, sharp and even mischievous eye for paradox, for pointing to what used to be termed in Hegelianese, 'contradictions' or 'dialectics' of modern society and its forms. Roberts' keen eye has focused on the paradoxes (rather than negative dialectics) of aesthetic modernity and the forms that these paradoxes have taken within the historical time consciousness and self-understanding of modernity. This paper will sugg…

Critical Theories and the Budapest School
Critical Theories and the Budapest School brings together new perspectives on the Budapest School in the context of contemporary developments in critical theory. Engaging with the work of the prominent group of figures associated with Georg Lukacs, this book sheds new light on the unique and nuanced critiques of modernity offered by this school, informed as its members' insights have been by first-hand experiences of Nazism, Soviet-type societies…
Classical Readings in Culture and Civilization
In recent times, especially under the influence of postmodernism, culture has often been construed as a critique of modernity. This wide-ranging and comprehensive collection of readings shows that such issues have always been at the centre of thought about the relationship between culture and civilization The readings are divided into three sections, linking the civilization debate to political theory, to the cultural debate and to the sociology …

Rethinking imagination
Citizens and Strangers
This paper approaches the issue of cosmopolitanism from the vantage point of hospitality. The notion of hospitality throws into relief some issues that are at the heart of political cosmopolitanism, but cannot be addressed by it. This is because these issues do not necessarily revolve around the category of the citizen (however extended), but around the categories of stranger and outsider. The paper critiques the tendency to conflate the categori…
Agnes Heller
Imaginaries of Modernity
This book offers a new perspective on the issue of modernity through a series of interconnected essays. Drawing centrally on the works of Castoriadis, Luhmann, Heller and Lefort, and in critical discussion with Weber, Durkheim, Simmel, Adorno, Habermas and Taylor, the author argues that modernity is not only a unique historical creation but also a multiple one. With a focus on five broad themes - the problem of understanding of modernity after th…
Imagining cities, others
This paper explores the constellation of fear and the social forces, assumptions and images that construct it. The paper's underlying presupposition is that there are many locations for fear that run parallel to one another in modernity, one of which will be discussed here - the city. It begins by exploring two images and ideas of the city, around which the social theoretical tradition has revolved, both of which are linked in some way to the ide…

Re-reading Fichte's Science of Knowledge after Castoriadis
In many of his writings, Castoriadis argues that 'the discovery of the imagination' occurs in the works of Aristotle, Kant, Fichte, Freud, Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. Although he has systematically encountered and interrogated the works of Aristotle, Kant, Freud, and Merleau-Ponty, the work of Fichte remains an enigmatic absence within the orbit of Castoriadis' work. This study is an attempt to address this enigma through a close reading of Fich…
Slave to the rhythm or love, sex and the dialectic of freedom
Current changes in the intimate sphere are denoted by an expansion of emotional vocabularies, of freedom in sex and sexual preference, and the extension of sexual life with neither inhibition, nor obligation, nor marriage for both women and men. This reading of the works of Jean-Claude Kaufmann and Niklas Luhmann suggests that the result of this current revolution of the intimate sphere is mixed. A new differentiated form of the intimate sphere h…
Modernity, Humans and Animals - Tensions in the Field of the Technical-Industrial Imaginary
A Militia major is driving along when he sees a militiaman standing with a penguin. 'Take him to the zoo', he orders. Some time later the same major is driving along when he sees the militiaman still with the penguin. 'What have you been doing?' he asks. 'I said take him to the zoo'. 'We've been to the zoo, Comrade major', says the militiaman, 'and the circus. And now we're going to the pictures'. (1) I NATURE, ANIMALS, HUMANS--THE TENSION OF THE…
James Bohman, Democracy Across Borders
Democratic Revolutions, Power and the City
This article develops three interconnected arguments concerning the image of modernity as a revolutionary epoch and the way in which this image has been understood and theorized. These three lines of conceptualization, which can only be sketched in less rather than greater detail here, concern the constellation or figuration of modernity, its democratic dimension, and in reference to each, the work of Max Weber, especially The City. More specific…

Durkheim and the Reflexive Condition of Modernity
In this essay, Durkheim's work is approached from a double vantage point. One vantage point looks at Durkheim's work with a post-classical attitude that inter sects the ontological recasting of the social in the work of Castoriadis. It is in the context of social opening that will concentrate on Durkheim's work as it presents a model of reflexivity that concentrates on the historical development of the modern period. Durkheim's model of reflexivi…
Issues and Debates in Contemporary Critical and Social Philosophy
Strangers, Citizens and Outsiders
This article deploys a double conceptual framework. One frame is positioned through the ideas of absolute strangers and outsiders. The other frame develops out of, though is distinct from, the first, and refers to the disaggregated forms of modern citizenship. The citizen-as-absolute-stranger in addition to accruing political rights may also accrue social, economic or identity rights, or traverse wider relations between him or herself and other a…
Imaginary Turns in Critical Theory
The aim of this paper is to examine two turns towards the idea of the creative imagination in contemporary critical theory in the works of Axel Honneth and Cornelius Castoriadis. Honneth's work subsumes the idea of the creative imagination under the paradigm of mutual recognition. Castoriadis constructs the idea of the creative imagination from an ontological perspective. However, Castoriadis' idea of the primary autism of the creative imaginatio…

The Postmodern Ethical Condition A conversation with Agnes Heller
Many of Agnes HellerOs previous works explore the contingency of the modern condition and how social actors establish or choose themselves as ethical beings within this contingency. Both The Postmodern Political Condition and Can Modernity Survive? concentrate on images of contingency whilst General Ethics and A Philosophy of Morals explore the nature of an ethics framed around the question of what a decent person is. The contingency of modernity…

Pulling together a collection of richly informative essays Rethinking Imagination addresses competing sets of ideas, oscillating between the modern and post-modern, creativity and sublimity, progress and apocalypse, democracy and redemption Enlightenment and Romanticism and reason and imagination. Aiming to thematise these debates from the perspective of the imagination, Rethinking Imagination takes two directions. The first addresses a socio-cul…
